Seeing Xiao Huaiqing's self-reflection, Xiao Huaizheng said: "I don't think the Queen's aunt is that bad. You shouldn't believe everything everyone says. Many things cannot be seen with the eyes, but with the heart."
"From now on, if you help me, I'll go to Aunt Huang to get some information for you. If anyone tries to sow discord between you and your son, I'll be the first to testify against him."
The word "mother-son relationship" made Xiao Huaiqing's face crack.
He finally understood that the deep gap between him and Lin Yue could never be bridged.
And those misunderstandings can never be explained clearly.
He scolded Xiao Huaizheng, "Stop talking nonsense. If you want to help me with anything, just tell me what you want to do."
"As for my mother, don't bother her."
Xiao Huaizheng said with a smile: "When you said mother, I can hear that you meant it sincerely."
"Cousin, you are still sober."
Xiao Huaiqing felt a pain in his heart. So what if he wasn't conscious?
He has already let Yingyue down, and he cannot let his father down again.
Soon, Xiao Huaizheng said to Xiao Huaiqing, "Help me find a pair of siblings from other places in the capital. They should have come to the capital in the past three years. Their household registration is in Duyun Prefecture, but it is also possible that they are not."
"Anyway, we're siblings, and we live in a remote area. The sister is about the same age as me, and the brother is a few years younger."
"When you find out, tell me first. I'll confirm it secretly before taking action."
Xiao Huaiqing asked nervously, "You want to kill someone?"
Xiao Huaizheng said: "What are you thinking? I will definitely capture him and report him to my father. I won't kill anyone!"
So we have to find a way to torture him, but be sure not to kill him.
Xiao Huai was thinking, with a faint smile on his lips.
After hearing this, Xiao Huaiqing nodded.
But he quickly added, "Okay, but you have to answer me a question."
Xiao Huaizheng said: "You say!"
Xiao Huaiqing asked vaguely, "Does your father have a favorite beauty recently and wants to make her his concubine?"
Xiao Huaizheng immediately understood what Xiao Huaiqing was suspicious of, and quickly said, "I'm not saying anything, cousin, but you're really disgusting."
"If my father really has that intention, my grandmother will definitely break his legs and let the prince ascend the throne directly."
"He's the emperor of the Great Wei, and he cares deeply about the people. He even takes time out of his busy schedule to meet the concubines he likes. Do you think he still has the energy to do anything else?"
Xiao Huaiqing blushed, but his eyes lit up, and he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I won't let my imagination run wild in the future."
Xiao Huaizheng snorted coldly, "No wonder the Queen's aunt doesn't like you. You're so suspicious that even a dog would find you unlucky!"
Xiao Huaiqing: “…”!!!
Just wondering what's wrong and why you say that about him?
Really!
"That's because there are some things you don't know!"
Xiao Huaiqing said righteously.
Xiao Huaizheng quickly noticed something was wrong and asked, "Did you see them meeting privately?"
Xiao Huaiqing had no idea that Xiao Huaizheng's guess was right. Before he could retract his surprised expression, Xiao Huaizheng saw it.
Xiao Huaizheng understood and said, "So that's how it is."
"But what's so strange about this? A few days ago, because your father was running low on military supplies at the front, the Imperial Aunt personally went to the Eastern Palace to discuss matters with the Crown Prince. So, according to what you're saying, is it forbidden for the Imperial Aunt to meet any other man privately?"
"You have to understand that she is now the mistress of the household. It is understandable that she runs around for her master's affairs. Even the Empress Dowager can't say that she is doing a bad job."
Xiao Huaiqing immediately became alert and said, "What do you mean by insufficient military supplies? Aren't these all managed by the Ministry of War?"
Xiao Huaizheng sneered, "Are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid? There are also corrupt officials in the Ministry of War. What's more, Minister Tan of the Ministry of War thinks he has a good son-in-law. He is arrogant and domineering in the court. Most people dare not offend him."
"He has another daughter, Tan Liangyuan, who lives in the Eastern Palace. Although she's not favored, she's also very respectable. To be frank, even if something really happened in the Ministry of War, there are plenty of people who will take the blame for him. But your father is thousands of miles away at the border, and the war situation is changing rapidly. What do you think is more important?"
Xiao Huaiqing was very shocked and murmured, "No one has ever told me this."
Xiao Huaizheng patted Xiao Huaiqing on the shoulder and said, "We are both motherless children, but we are both lucky to have trustworthy people around us. I believe that the emperor's uncle also hopes to see you grow up and be able to support Prince Ding's Mansion."
After Xiao Huaizheng left, Xiao Huaiqing was still standing there. The shocks he had received today came one after another, making his head buzzing and feeling a little unreal.
But he also knew very well that he really could not live the same life as before.
So after having dinner with Su Yingyue, he took the initiative to ask, "Are you fully recovered?"
Su Yingyue's heart skipped a beat, knowing that he was asking about the consummation of the marriage. She quickly lowered her eyes and nodded, her cheeks flushed.
Seeing this, Xiao Huaiqing touched her forehead lovingly, and the couple reconciled.
night.
In the East Palace, a fierce quarrel broke out between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.
The prince then stormed to Tan Liangyuan's bedroom and vented his anger, "Who does she think she is? She has to control everything I do?"
"This time we're transporting food and fodder to the border, the team alone has over ten thousand people. What danger could there be?"
"Besides, after returning, he was at least going to the front to boost morale. The officials would definitely look at him with new eyes. I don't understand why she had to stop him."
Tan Liangyuan's eyes moved slightly. Her father was asking her to find out the whole story, but she didn't expect the prince to come to her door so soon.
